Agree, but if he is not going to command a regular slot in our matchday squad, including minutes on the pitch, I would prefer him to move to a club where he gets regular football and be the best that he can be in that context. It's basically the same wish I have for all our academy graduates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there are elements of a young Drogba in his game. The three minutes he had in our first team he was the only player in the squad who actually looked like a centre forward.

Willian Dollar Baby Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 With the reduced games next year I can see why RLC is leaving. It is a shame to see the back of a versatile back up who rarely complains about gametime due to his injury history. At 27 however there's not a great scope for him to ever break into the starting line up on a regular basis. With his physicality I think he will do great in Serie A. Far more important is keeping Gallagher and Chalobah who are quality young squad players for the long term. They are both great athletes, adaptable and never leave the pitch without giving it everything. We'll only end up spending a fortune on average replacements down the line. With Mount, Havertz and Felix all likely leaving Gallagher should get plenty of minutes and is a player that I'm sure Poch will love. We are more stacked at CB where Chalobah may struggle to get minutes next year, surely a loan would suffice with the hope it will only be one season out of Europe. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
